| Help: Shindo Mobrinson or EAR 868 I've had both. Monbrison with Cortese and Sinhonnia and 868 with First Watt J2. I preferred the 868. Much better driver than the Monbrison. | |
| What Amplifiers Have You Heard In Your System and What Amplifiers Will You Always Keep Shindo Cortese (Sold but will buy another one someday)Shindo Sinnhonia (Good but not even close to the Cortese)Berning 300B Siegfried (Sold to a good friend and will always be my absolute biggest regret in this hobby.

| Rethm speakers, bass amplification I'll keep you posted on my JL CR1 outcome. Need to move some things around and possibly get some ic's to make this work.I value a big soundstage with immediacy and dynamics. The Bhaava's are all that with finesse and grunt all at once. It's a m... | |
| Rethm speakers, bass amplification The Bhaava's have an 8" driver, the Trishna's a 5". The Bhaava's energize the room in a way that the Trishna's simply do not. I'd expect the Maarga's to be a slightly fuller sounding version of the Trishna's. A dealer told me he preferred the B... | |
| Rethm speakers, bass amplification Missed your last question. The Trishnas are more refined. The Bhaavas more fun. | |
| Rethm speakers, bass amplification Sorry for the delay. I turned off the subs on the Bhaavas and also disconnected my subwoofer. Better bass than I would have expected. I'm listening to some electronica right now and the bass is quite good. I get what you're saying with the pow... | |
| Rethm speakers, bass amplification rfprice, I'll try it with the sub off today and report back. | |
| Rethm speakers, bass amplification Meant to say Rel 212se. | |
| Rethm speakers, bass amplification Funny you should ask that. I've got 2 pairs of Rethm's, Trishnas and Bhaavas. I've been running the Bhaavas with the bass modules turned off and a Rel 218se sub with really good results. I'm doing it for the same reason as you. Didn't feel lik... | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV I think that I'm in the same boat as many. The CW4s are huge and require a different level of commitment if they don't work out for you. I'm running some Rethm's right now, along with a Rel 212SE. Great sound, but not the large ballsy, wall-of-... | |
| Sound quality impact - preamp vs power amp? Meant to say EAR 868. | |
| Sound quality impact - preamp vs power amp? Tubed or solid state. A great tubed pre- is going to be expensive, but you can pair it with a relatively inexpensive ss power amp and get amazing results. If you're going ss, then the world is your oyster. I think you can find good ss pre's for... | |
| Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy? The Tom Evans amps might also be an option. I'm using the Vibe/Pulse as my pre-amp into a Triode Labs 2a3 and then some Rethm speakers. | |
| Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy? Pani's recommenations are dead-on and mimic my experiences exactly. | |
| Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy? My recommenations would be:First Watt SIT,Pass .8 series,CodaYou're never going to get the 300B warmth you're looking for via SS. If it existed, it would be the most popular amp on the planet. Another option would be a LIO DHT pre- coupled to wi... |
